Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This study sought to understand the relationships among locus of control, parenting style, academic procrastination, and financial independence with a population of undergraduate students. A sample of 61 students (39 females, 21 males, 1 other) completed measures of demographics, locus of control, parenting style, and academic procrastination. Participants were recruited within the last two weeks of the semester. Therefore, the sample probably contained a higher percentage of procrastinators than the general population. There were no significant correlations across the total sample. There was a significant positive correlation between higher scores on the Parental Authority Questionnaire authoritative scale and the Procrastination Assessment Scale Student Frequency scores for individuals who were financially dependent. There was also a significant negative correlation between the authoritarian and authoritative parenting style scores for those who were financially dependent.</p>
